anime crossroads 2k24

march 2024
CURRENTLY...

ANIME CONVENTIONS R SO MUCH FUN
what the heck
+ healing to be amongst my ppl. allowing myself to be cringe adds 10 years on to my lifespan.
+ we vended at crossroads last year in '23, by the time the dealers room was closed & we were all packed up for the night...i missed out on all the actual con events!
+ don't get me wrong, i would love to be involved & vend at more cons! but man--being an attendee.... dressing up & goofing off & dancing & scoping out sweet anime waifus in the dealers room...blissful.



valentines day market

february 2024
CURRENTLY...
see: strands of light, dean curled up like a fox
hear:jerma rambling on tv
smell: hazelnut gingerbread candle
taste: apple, cold from the fridge and sliced rly thin
feel: cozy

big gay valentines day market was a success!

this one was at The Amp in indy. waited until the last hour to check out the other booths & it was bumping. there were live aerial silk demonstrations, different foods, lots and lots of new faces.
seeing returning customers was crazy for me. one person told me that they were wearing a pair of earrings i made when they went on their first date with their partner, and now they're celebrating their first valentine's day together!
there are things i want to pour more attention into for the next event~

& props to the vending crew with me
